Evening Curricula At U. D. is Revised Ac ting on inform a tion ga in ed from a recent personal survey of educational needs in relation to industry in路 the D ayton area, Univer ity of Dayton has launched a triple-point program which will supplement the regul ar Evening Cl asse curriculum .

Robert Mitchell, assistant director of Evening Classe.s is in cha rge of the project.

The three pha es include, fir t, a general strengthening of the . D . evening progra m ; second, establishment of "feeler" courses in a nticipa tion of a n Industrial Engineering program; and third, possible initia tion of a "T echnical In titute" program such as is in opera tion a t several major universities.

To date, stress has been placed on the first phase- that of widening and reprocessing th e evening curriculum. The survey howed what adults in the community felt wa needed to round out their technical education and wha t further education courses would better the possibilities of salary advances in their specific fields.

Several courses completely new to the University a nd others which had been taught previou ly only in the day classes have been installed .

For organizational purposes Mitchell has placed these a nd other revised courses allied to the industrial program in six categories ... engineering, purchasing, sales, comtrollers division, industrial ma nufacturing or inspection, and industria l rela tions.

This breakdown has no bearing on degree listings; it con titutes a balancing of courses in the six a reas. " It will now be possible," Mitchell sta ted, " for 90 % of the people in D ayton pla nts to come to U . D . a nd find six or eight courses designed specifically for their particular field ."

M a ny of these courses a re being offered as a result of direct requests from D ayton industries. It is expected that additional cour e will be installed as the demand arise .

Brother Elmer C. L ackner, S.M ., R egistrar and director of Evening Classes a t U . D., said of the progra m, " Since 1922 the univer ity has continua lly tried to service the adult education needs of the community through the evening clas es ; however, it remained for the current stud y to correla te isola ted offering into a unified program for mature student needs.

BROTHER ELMER LACKNER, S.M. DIRECTOR OF THE EVENING DIVISION , AND ROBERT I. MITCHELL, check on the results of a survey conducted for the purposes of determining the needs of industry in Dayton . The curriculum of the Evening Division is being reorganized to accommodate industry and to be of greater service to the community.

U. D. Chorus to Appear In Columbus, Cleveland, and Akron

True to its tradition, the University of D ayton Chorus has already started it work for the New Year, in an effort to bring better music and fame to our Alma M a ter not only in Dayton and vicinity, but if pos ible, throughout the United States.

Successfully finishing last season with tours of local and Miami V a lley high schools, the Chorus gave a cries of programs comprising serious and light music, ranging from Palestrina and Bach to the latest creations of modern composers.

The climax of the Chorus' work was achieved during Centennial week when it was called to sing at the inauguration ceremony of the Mechanical Engineering building. It appeared on a nationwide television program, featuring the first century of progress at the University of Dayton.

Closing last year's work was the Annual Christmas Concert given in the auditorium of Oakwood High School. A program of Christmas and spiritual music was presented.

The new year- 1950- finds the Chorus busier than ever preparing a program for a na tionwide broadcast over the network of the Columbia Broadcasting System to be given Sunday, J an. 22.

Following th e broadcast the Chorus will go on a tour between semester . This schedule includes concerts in Columbus, Ohio, J an . 23. Cleve-

land, Ohio will be the next stop.

There the U. D. Chorus will appear on J a n. 24, at 2 :00 p.m. a t St. Augustine' High School, in La kewood .

Continuing from Cleveland the Chorus will make its fin al appearance of this tour in Akron's St. Vincent High School, Jan. 25, a t 2 :00 p.m.

With the beginning of the spring term the Chorus wi ll sta rt prepa rations-some of them already underway- for an appearance with the Dayton Philharmonic at M emorial Hall, March 7, as one of the features on the Philharmonic's progra m.

Another event is scheduled in conjunction with the U. D . Modern Dance group.

Tentative plans include another a ppearance over a local television station in April, and a combined presentation with the U. D. Players, under the direction of Mr. John I. M cGra th.

Highlighting this year and concluding the season will be the presentation of a program a t th e 1950 Commencement on June 3.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Nelson . H arper, director of the U. D . Chorus, the organization ha become a well versed group, with a repertoire of the high grade of work done in the past and worthy

5

of the future in which the Choru hopes to be able to spread yet wider the University of D ayton's fame.

An invitation is extended to alumni a nd their friends to attend any or all of the concerts, if you so desire.

We are certain you will enjoy the program.

The University of D ayton's basketball Flyers a ren't living up to Coach Tom Blackburn's pre-season prediction of " We're still a year away."

That year appears to have arrived as the Flyers hopped off to a 10 game winning streak before bowing to Loyola of Chicago (69-46) a nd then rebounded to trim high-scoring Morris H a rvey, Arizona Sta te, M a rshall College, Loyola of Baltimore, and Ohio U. The defeat by Loyola of Chicago, however, tends to lend weight to Blackburn's prediction. The R amblers are recognized as one of the nations basketball powers. To be a rated team the Flyers will h ave to be able to more than hold their own against clubs of and above Loyola's caliber.

The Flyers, even without a ra ting however, have slipped into the nation's cage spotlight. According to National Collegiate Athl etic Bureau figures Dayton ranks among the top 10 major college fives in defense.

And Don ( Monk ) M eineke, 7' 7" sophomore center, is ninth in the nation in the percentage of fi eld goals made per try. M eineke's 48. 2% of shooting average h as been mounting with each game.

While the tall lad h as been pouring through points, the floor play of Dick (Razor ) Campbell, 6' 3" guard from Columbus, 0 ., along with the driving of Leland (Junior ) Norris, 6' 1" guard, have been key factors in the success of the Flyer .

Campbell is the Flyers floor leader and the ball handling and passing of the sophomore leaves little to be desired. Norris is third in the point parade. Big Don netted 256 points in the first 16 games. Norris hit for 150.

Lanky Chuck Grigsby, 6' 4" forward a nd center, h as come fast since the Flyers opener and has 151 points to his credit. Chuck hit five straight field goals before missing in the Flyers 68-41 rout of M a rshall.

One of the Flyers finest p layers is an unheralded m ember of the squad.

H e's P e t e Boyl e, 6' 3" forward.

Boyle's point average is not impressive-H e's potted 87-but his play off the backboards and his aggressive defensive action have been one reason for the Flyer fin e showing.

Boyle's points, mostly from far out, have come when the Flyers needed them most.

The two pint-sized members of Bl ackburn's squad h ave played key

roles in the victory string. Bobby Flynn, 5' 7" junior forward, pulled the Mia mi University game out of the fire with fast action and 14 points (The Flyers won 66-50 ) and Gene (Ghost ) Joseph, 5' 10" sophomore forwa rd, was given a defensive assignment against high-riding once beaten M a rsh all - stop the H erds fast break.

Jose ph, using his speed to good advantage and aided by sh a rp floor work of his teammates, did ju t that.

The Flyers turned the game into a rout in building up a startling 41-15 halftime lead .

Another lad certain to see plenty of action this season is up and coming Clete Oberst, 6' 1" sophomore guard . Oberst's improved play h as earned him increased playing time and Springboro's Jimmy Hough, 6' 2" sophomore forward, earned a t least one of his spurs when his fi eld goal in the last 20-seconds enabled the Flyers to defeat Cedarville 41-40 and stretch their win streak earlier in the season.

As the Flyers move on into rough going Jack and Dick Zimmerman and Bob Busse, 6' 4", No. 2 pivot man, seem certain to make their presence felt. The Flyers need plenty of good reserve strength for their tough J anuary drive when they meet (a ll on opponents' floors) X avier, Bow lin g Green, Baldwin-Wallace, Muskingham and K ent State in a period of six day - but they'll be getting plenty of help by then from an outstanding eager who becomes eligible J a n. 20.
